Last week, the Bethlehem Township, Pennsylvania, family received news that will greatly change all that: Isabella, or Isa as she's known, is now considered a cancer survivor.

"I was so happy, but I was so in shock because this has been my life," her mother, Alisa, said.

When Isa was born, her entire liver was covered with tumors. The Gonzalez family had been warned that some of the tumors may always remain even when they're no longer cancerous. But in January, Isa received an ultrasound report showing all of her liver tumors were gone.

"When our doctor said there was nothing on her liver, it was pretty powerful," said Alisa Gonzalez, a teacher at Spring Garden Elementary School in Bethlehem.

While Alisa Gonzalez and her husband, Wilson, are incredibly relieved to receive the news of Isa's survivor status, they're not completely leaving everything cancer-related behind. The family in September is again holding Isa's Run for a Cure, a 5k that raises money for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a children's cancer research organization. In its two years, the run has raised $15,664.

"We are still speakers, we still are sharing her story," Alisa Gonzalez said. "We try to be sources of support for people — this is why we do this run."

This year's run is being held Sept. 20 at Freedom High School in Bethlehem Township. Registration starts at 8 a.m. and the race kicks off at 9 a.m.
